i thought a patch is supposed to release prior to thanksgiving?

anyways, matchmaking is working just fine for me aside from the occasional 5v4 here and there.  but they certainly need to address that post-match party drop issue.  it sounds like an easy fix.  

I hate pre order bonuses exclusive to certain stores, I want those DLC pre order costumes for DOA5LR, but not all stores will have them, I wonder if Portugal will even get them anywhere sigh. They should just put the code on first print copies or so :/

I mean.. those are a must. Worse, different stores will have different packs despair. 

well, most vids I see online for gta 5 are of gta online, so....apparently it's a big part of it.  same goes for tlou.  you finish the campaign in the tlou and all you have left is the mp.  difference is, halo was practically founded on its mp legacy- that's why I feel reviewers have been more harsh with hao mcc when compared with tlou and gta, but that's not really fair, imo.

I'm sure most of the people sold TLOU as soon as they had finished it. I perfected the game in survival mode and sell it right away, on a personal note. Pretty sure a lot of people vedone the same. 

About youtube : Pretty normal, nobody care about solo mode on youtube since everyone can do the same. What you are searching for on youtube video game video is frag, skills, entertaining video. If it is something you can do, you'll not care. Main reason why their a lot of online stuff on youtube, streamer know what people want to see.

Not sure what you are talking about, GTA online is huge (and with huge I mean it has a gigantic amount of players which a single Halo game will never reach) and people played probably more hours GTA online as the singleplayer.

Rockstar was even bragging about it.

Also not sure why you try to tell us that "we all don't buy games for online except fps and fighting games" just because we didn't play online with our PS2? I mean, you really try to tell us that just because people didn't do something almost 15 years ago has to mean that they still don't do it? People did obviously not do what was not supported but that doesn't mean that people don't use new possibilities. Otherwise we would still see people using their Nokia with Snake on it.

I mean, we also played Fifa or Diablo only offline years ago, that doesn't mean that many don't play it online nowadays...

Still basically impossible to play with a party. Also it doesn't match even teams in ranked at all. Just throws people together regardless of rank.

Next update is Monday. They admitted that playing with friends has gotten worse post update. Any they will "address it in coming updates".

where did they say that playing with friends got worse??

no, not impossible, just a chore to reinvite party members post-match.  

Actually if it was just that it wouldn't be so bad. But after the game it will remove players from the game and will not let u join back. The game will act like the players are in a party together when ur not forcing a game reset to play together.Friends won't show up on the roster. It will gray out the join session button for some reason. It will get stuck in joining session forcing a game reset. If ur serching for a game and u decide to cancel search(which u will have to sometimes because it gets stuck in connecting to game) or switch to a different playlist it kicks party members everytime. This is a widespread issue on waypoint and neogaf not isolated. I know all this firsthand. Me n my friend only got into 4 matches over 5 hours today and last night.

and ur right they didn't say it got worse, they just said the bug came back. I read it wrong, here it is.

"Additionally, in yesterday’s patch notes, we announced that parties would no longer be split after a matchmaking session, and we’re aware that this bug has regressed. "
